MODERATORS
I've taken to learning German since that's half my front page right now. Apparently they all found feddit.de haha
Same, need to learn Portuguese stat. Spanglish does not help.
you might be able to fix that by setting a language in your settings. I know there was some warning I didnt pay much attention to past "set your language or..." that came up when i was poking around in there.
Nah feddit.de is a German instance so they’ll probably just have to deal with it.
My crocheting game is going to be peak here shortly. I'm a mid 40s dude that likes drinking beer and other general dude stuff.
Oh, you know, create it 🤷♂️
No modding experience or time to run it 😭
Can't moderate without experience, and can't get experience without moderating
I think having no time is the bigger issue
If you see something you don't like, remove it. Create some general rules for your community. We're in a stage where people are more friendly and easy going so you likely won't be constantly bombarded with reports.
I just looked at my subs...and ngl, there's alot. Some of them I would have never thought to sub to on reddit, but I find each one super interesting, and besides, nearly every post on here is thought provoking so I haven't sorted by subscribed since I joined on 11th.
I'm hoping there's an eventual settling/merging of some similar communities
I think over time they will definitely. The ones that don't are because the people in them get along with eachother. I think that's the beauty of the feddiverse.
That's the way, it's important to not go back there, communities will appear because people like you and me will create an alternative to that communities.
And people like me will sit around and wait for yall...
Such is the life in the new frontiers
I just want ShitPostCrusaders to magically be here and popular xD I miss them
Answer the call, post your JoJo memes here
Open the c/ and you don't have to fall back to birds :)
Don't forget that most folks are just lurkers like me and don't want to deal with moderation stuff.
i came for the birding
Message the sub mods! Politely of course.
Even something as simple as "Hey I love this sub but like alot of people won't be using reddit anymore without Sync or Apollo. Planning on making a Lemmy/Kbin community?"
They can't know to switch if they don't know there's demand
I did the lazy way and copypasted your quote msg to the subs I like. Let's see how it goes!
That's great!
Also, if you didn't know, Reddit Sync's dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis basically looks like Apollo's spiritual successor. You could mention that in your messages too.
Where HobbyDrama?
It is somewhere, I can't remember but I definitely saw it on a fediverse list.
I'm glad that I liked bird content on reddit already :D
I’d start a community/magazine on my own based on subreddits that have no analogue here (e.g., cassette futurism, Comedy Bang Bang, Doughboys) but would that require me to be a mod or whatever? I’d be fine providing material as if I were seeding a garden, until more users come in and it becomes active on its own, but I don’t want to be watching it over constantly or anything like that.
Yea you'd be the mod. I'm in the same boat, I really don't want to moderate people. But I made one anyway. It will take time, but I'm trying to cultivate it to the best of my ability.
We're making it up as we go. It's pretty awesome.
I think the feddiverse is gonna turn out a bit different than reddit. For sure. And for the better.
I'm not sure if my community has a 1 to 1 with reddit, and that's the best part. We're all mods here.
I feel you. You can start your community and post content to get started and then handover moderation if/when others join. I considered doing the same but unfortunately I just don't have the content to get started with so I'm more down to wait and see. I've made a list of my favourite subs and set a weekly reminder on my phone to check on here if they exist.
Yeah, I may just do that, like post a sticky/pinned thread (if that's A Thing here, idk) saying that whoever is interested is welcome to take over modship. I just want to get something started. Maybe this weekend, why not.
what do you want?
I don't want to open a community (I rarely post anything) but it would be nice to have a way to 'watch' for the few I'd somewhat be interested in.
I'm aware.
That may be useful if I had saved searches that I could come back to like on the RES dashboard. Otherwise, checking or subbing to that will just be pointless noise for me as the stuff I'm talking about is niche.
If a Lemmy app can help solve this problemnin the future it will be something that sets itself apart from the pack.
